Mine an entire vein of ore, chop an entire tree or break any group of blocks by holding a hotkey. A veinmining mod for Fabric, NeoForge, Forge and Quilt.<\/p>\n

Requires Forge Config API Port.<\/p>\n

Versions before Minecraft 1.21.9 (1.21.8 and below) require Architectury API.<\/p>\n

\n### How To Use It<\/p>\n

Hold the Tilde\/Grave key, look at a block, and mine it. The outlines should show what you’re about to mine.<\/p>\n

![Keybord Hotkey](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/iamkaf\/modresources\/refs\/heads\/main\/pages\/liteminer\/screenshot5.png)<\/p>\n

There are a few shapes you can mine with and to switch between them hold the Liteminer key and scroll your mouse wheel.<\/p>\n

The available shapes are: Shapeless (mines connected blocks), 3×3, Small Tunnel, Staircase Up and Staircase Down.<\/p>\n

### Current Plan<\/p>\n

I’ve completed all the features I wanted to add to the mod when I started the project, and I’m happy with how it turned out. The next steps are fixing bugs that might come up and adding new features that I think of or that are requested by the community.<\/p>\n

Thank you for the support!<\/p>\n

### Tags<\/p>\n

#### Item Tags<\/p>\n

* `liteminer:excluded_tools` – items in this tag can’t be used for litemining (applies to main hand slot)
\n* `liteminer:included_tools` – if `require_tool` is true in server config, by default only “tool” items can be used (tiered items with durability); this can be used to allow extra items<\/p>\n

#### Block Tags<\/p>\n

* `liteminer:excluded_blocks` – blocks in this tag may never be litemined
\n* `liteminer:block_whitelist` – if this tag is non-empty, then _only_ blocks in this tag may be litemined<\/p>\n

> Note: these tags are compatible with the FTB Ultimine tags, so you can use the same tags for both mods if you already have a setup you like.<\/p>\n
